UEFI won boot tools via fog menu.
-
@george1421 According to this: https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DNSMasq_as_DHCP_server
dd-wrt uses dnsmasq or uses uDHCPd but not both at the same time. It’s one or the other.
-
Well then it probably uses an older version of dnsmasq which does not handle PXE booting of UEFI devices properly?!?!
-
@Sebastian-Roth @Wayne-Workman I think that its clear that I need to invoke a new setup to properly handle co-existing environment, going forward what is the recommended way to remedy this situation. should I use fogs built in dhcp server or setup a new one and if so what server type Linux, windows?
-
@dureal99d said in UEFI won boot tools via fog menu.:
should I use fogs built in dhcp server
Yes. The installer will set it up for you perfectly. Earlier in this thread, I described how to change your current server to do this.
-
@Wayne-Workman is this a situation were I will have to disable dhcp on my router, or will they both work in tandem with each other.
-
@dureal99d They will not work in tandem without expert configuration, and we don’t have time for that. That’s something you can mess around with after things are working.

@Wayne-Workman @Senior-Developers @Moderators @Developers
I know this thread has sparked somewhat of a up and down exhaustive debacle on if and how to make the efi load with the dns masq of ddwrt.This configuration right here is partially working and has allowed me to boot successfully a sony Lenovo laptop in uefi mode.
although non of the Linux isos boot and no third party tools work at least its a step in the right direction, I think?
If you look at the loading sequence it states something strange that I’m sure you pros can identify.Link up on net0..............Connection timed out??
At any rate I am now wondering if I must create one of these entries for each type of .efi file ie. snp.efi etc.dhcp-match=set:efibc,option:client-arch,7 dhcp-boot=tag:efibc,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-match=set:i386-efi/ipxe.efi,option:client-arch,6 dhcp-boot=tag:i386-efi/ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-match=set:efi-x86_64,option:client-arch,7 dhcp-boot=tag:efi-x86_64,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-match=set:efi-x86_64,option:client-arch,8 dhcp-boot=tag:efi-x86_64,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-match=set:efi-x86_64,option:client-arch,9 dhcp-boot=tag:efi-x86_64,ipxe.efi,,192.168.1.109 dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,,192.168.1.109 -

@dureal99d Can we see how you try to boot all these various tools?
-
@Quazz of course, do you need a video or a config file?
-
@dureal99d Just paste a few examples of the config for the menu items.

-
@Quazz that is my entire config file
-
@dureal99d I think the main problem is most likely that the nfs location those boot options want to use isn’t being exported by your FOG server.
Check /etc/exports to confirm
-
@Quazz the files are being exported via nfs server of Ubuntu
/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0) /images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1) /images2 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2) /images2/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=3) /var/www/html/bootimgs *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure) /opt/bootimgs *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)``` -
@dureal99d They need to have fsid assigned at the very least to work properly as far as I know.

@dureal99d said in UEFI won boot tools via fog menu.:
i see add
@Quazz I shall add fsid= to the export and shall report back
